NRS-21566 | Primary Application Miscellaneous Search Books

Primary Applications are applications which were made to LPI [Land and Property Information] by owners of land under Old System title, (a system of Title base on Common law principles and that relies on a chain of documents as evidentiary to ownership of land), for conversion to the Torrens Title system, that provides one State guaranteed title document evidencing ownership.Primary Applications may also be used to remove a Caution on a qualified Torrens Title, the caution being a warning that a Torrens Title may be subject or affected by interests not recorded, investigate or disclosed.In a Primary Application the applicant is required to provide all documents that support a “good root of title” i.e. essentially a chain of documents that support ownership and any other interests that affect that title to land.Part of the examination processing by LPI of a Primary Application involved LPI officers undertaking searches of LPI’s Old System records on the basis and in conjunction with the records supplied in the Primary Application. One of the resulting reports from the search conducted is known as an epitome of title.The epitome of title will show in chronological order the devolution of title to the land in the application from a selected commencement point to the date of the search and will include reference to all documents whether registered or not appearing to affect the title over the period searched.This report and other reports are relied on by LPI’s Legal officers in approving the application and providing direction on how the unqualified Torrens Title should issue.Epitomes of title prepared by LPI officers bearing the same number reference as Primary Application have been made available as a public record under the description of Primary Application Search books or the Primary Application Miscellaneous Search Books. Epitomes included in the record set being, Primary Application Miscellaneous Search Books are searches that involved in the level of searching required and or have some level of complexity.Primary Application Miscellaneous Search volumes contain the applications lodged and supporting documentation required to undertake the search. Records are organised numerically by Primary Application Miscellaneous Search number. Although most volumes were section-sewn into bound volumes, a small number of volumes were stab-sewn, and others were arranged loosely into empty covers which were fastened with legal tape. This series has been dis-bound in preparation for preservation digitisation.  Volumes are arranged numerically by Primary Application miscellaneous search number.

初始申请指旧制产权（以普通法原则为基础、以一系列文件作为土地所有权举证依据的产权体系）持有者，向土地与物业信息署（Land and Property Information，简称LPI）提交的、用于将产权转换为托伦斯产权体系的申请——该体系由州政府担保出具单一份具有法律效力的所有权证明文件。初始申请亦可用于移除附条件托伦斯产权上的警示标注，此处的警示标注指对托伦斯产权可能受未记录、未核查或未披露的权益影响的预警提示。在初始申请中，申请人需提交所有可佐证“合格产权源头”的文件，本质上即能够证明土地所有权及所有影响该产权的其他权益的一系列文件。LPI对初始申请的审核流程之一，是由LPI工作人员结合申请人提交的申请材料，对LPI的旧制产权档案开展检索核查工作。本次检索生成的报告之一即为产权概要（epitome of title）。该产权概要将按时间顺序列明申请所涉土地的产权从选定起始点至检索当日的转移历程，并收录检索期间内所有看似影响该产权的文件（无论是否完成登记）。LPI法务人员将依托该报告及其他相关报告完成申请审批，并就无限制托伦斯产权的出具流程提供指导意见。由LPI工作人员编制、与初始申请编号一致的产权概要，已作为公共档案以"初始申请检索册"或"初始申请杂项检索册"的名称对外公开。收录于初始申请杂项检索册中的产权概要，对应的检索工作均达到标准检索要求，或具备一定复杂度。初始申请杂项检索卷包含已提交的申请及开展检索所需的配套材料。档案按初始申请杂项检索编号进行数字排序。尽管多数卷宗采用锁线装订成册的形式，但仍有少量卷宗采用骑马订装订，另有部分卷宗以活页形式装入空封皮并以法务胶带固定。该系列档案已完成拆订处理，以便开展数字化保存工作。卷宗仍按初始申请杂项检索编号进行数字排序。
